Advantages: great skin

Disadvantages: cost is a little more than I would like to pay, men stopping me in the street to tell me how lovely I am (I wish)

Now although I'm a optimistic beleiver that beauty is skin deep I'm also an advocate of looking as youthful as I can and throwing as much as I can aford at it to achieve it.

So I have been testing three Roc products in conjunction with Oil of Olay facial wash as well. (See separate op on that one!)

I have sensitive skin which react to anything and I have often thrown half jars away because all of a sudden my skin doesn't like the product any more.

Roc is not cheap - for the daily moisturiser it's £19.99 for a small tube, with the eye cream coming in at £12 and the night cream at £14 or more depnding on the size you buy. I buy at Boots to get the benefit of their points!

The packaging is ok, all are in tubes which are easy to slip into a bag but thge night cream seal was on so tight when I first got it that it splurted all over the place when I opened it leaving a suspicious stain on the bedroom wall. I am now having to redecorate (I wonder if I can get any compensation from Roc?)

There is no purfume smell to any of them which i found reassuring.

I have dry skin so bought the products accordingly. All were reassuringly creamy without being to rich and none of them felt sticky or clogged up the pores.

I have applied the eye cream twice a day and the day and night moisturiser once a day each.

It takes at least 8 weeks before you shuld see a difference and I have been using these for 6 weeks now. I couldn't wait any longer to tell you the results.....

I have been receving compliments all over the place from people saying how well I was looking and how rested...the fine lines around my eyes have almost completely gone - although those that are left I think are more noticable beause of this......I am now being completely paranoid!

My skin is softer, that lovely softness where you have to keep touching your skin to feel how soft it is, and much more even in otne.
Less lumps and bumps, although some of that could be down to the Oil of Olay facial wash.

The thing I can't get over is the compliments which are making me confident and probably making me more beautiful as I glow from the inside as well as the outside!

The eye cream seems to last forever, but the day and night cream does need replacing after two or three months. I have just bought new stocks in anticipation of the existing ones running out. I don't want to be without this stuff!

I have spent a fortune on face creams in the past, I have been welcomed with open arms at every beauty counter in Northampton but soon they will have forgotten my name as I stick with what is a more expensive than average but well worth it skin system!

I bought the day and night creams after reading the claims for this product. The twin pack cost £35. Unfortunately, within 2 days of using these creams I started to develop a red rash on my face and the skin on my face became sore. I stopped using the products and my skin returned to normal shortly afterwards, so I would say beware of these products if you have slightly sensitive skin and don't shell out on both products, just start with one in case you too develop an allergy to it!

I also use the eye & lip cream and the RoC night cream is my favourite skin product as it actually is non greasy (unlike those that claim this and turn out not to be) even if I use a lot. I recently bought the triple action one instead (since they'd run out of the night one at Boots) and it was too oily for my skin. It was more expensive as well. Their day creams tend to leave a residue on my face so I give those a miss. As I said, the night cream is the best. I can't wait to finish the triple action one so I can go back to it.

Nice op - laughed out loud at the stain on the wall, Ive ruined so many carpets/skirts/duvet covers beacause of high tech face cream packaging!
